I am wanting to brew a bock and in the past, I have brewed it in the winter, in an unheated garage, using an electrically heated control box for temperature control. I was wanting to try using a corney keg, if I can find a lid that has been modified to accept a stopper and airlock. Has anyone tried this or know someone that has? Steve

If you are lagering, then why do you need to attach an airlock or blow-off tube? Lagering is simply storing the beer in cold condition for a period of maturation time. When I brew my lagers, I ferment in glass for primary, then immediately close transfer to a corny keg and put it in my fridge for lagering.

He's talking about primary fermentation in the keg. I do this exclusively and it works great. Like others said, use a gas disconnect and a piece of tubing clamped to it, run it into a jar of sanitizer or water. Works great and you can do a closed transfer to your serving keg or bottling keg. No air exposure...
